A healing and rejuvenating yoga class with foundational postures, led at a steady pace. Highly detailed instruction safely walks you through every pose. Great for brand-new to yoga to experienced practitioners. Seasoned yogis and new students can benefit from gentle yoga! Stretch away tensions from tight muscles, bring movement into stiff joints, connect to breath, and calm the mind. This class is ideal for anyone looking to de-stress, develop range of motion and flexibility without over-exertion, gently build strength, and receive the healing benefits of yoga.
Our gentle class is an open level that melds the physical and philosophical aspects of yoga by weaving a theme through flowing postures sequences, with varying elements of yoga traditions including gentle Hatha, Kripalu, Vinyasa and more. Each unique class begins with a centering, or brief meditation, exercises to warm up the body which flow into a series of postures coordinating mindful movement and breath, and finishes with relaxation and meditation. Themes range from anatomical or physiological focuses, to inspiration from yogic philosophy, to wisdom of daily living. Every class is unique, so students will constantly be receiving new postures, philosophy, techniques, and personal awareness.
